‘Williams’s favourite among his plays, [Cat on a Hot Tin Roof]
is perhaps his most impassioned and articulate statement on human
isolation, the wrenching problems of communication between people
and the ways in which death defines life.’ NEW YORK TIMES In Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof, a Southern family meet to celebrate 'Big Daddy'
Pollitt's 65th birthday. But as the party unfolds, the facade of a
happy family gathering is fractured by sexual frustration,
repressed love and greed in the light of their father's impending
death. This edition includes a commentary by Benjamin Hudson, which
explores the major themes of the play, including illness and
mortality; white supremacy through the plantation setting;
mendacity and 'fake news'; alcoholism and addiction; as well as
sexuality, womanhood and mid-century notions of masculinity. It
draws attention to the context of the play, including the cultural,
social and political landscape of the Mississippi Delta and St.
Louis; the first-hand witnessing of Black life in the South;
homosexuality and outsider sympathy; and American conservatism and
the idealised 1950s family. It also delves into recent productions
and adaptations of the play, including the Bollywood and Antoine
Fuqua film adaptations.
